A rA , \ 4. , t. '~T ~. / • in Ireland are agreed. It is not only in Munster, Leinstur, and Connaught, that this agreement prevails; but many,very many of the most patriotic and truly Irish of Ulster have in timated their readiness to co-operate. I mention Ulster with 'nide as well as with pleasure, becau.s.z. I know what persever ing and unfair mews have been taken to estrLnge the people cf Ulster from the poi:ular can“,. hut I have lately much reason to believe that the men of Ulster, will, on this occa- . - SiC)ll, show thee selves as patriotic and as Irish as ever. There are, intlee;?, some who do not rgree with me as yet upon the eecesity of insisting up.el all the four; but there is uebeely who can claim to be caled an Irishman that does not aeree upon its being impossible to consider the Union as corn te until some of them are unequivocally and fully redressed. Every'::tidy agrees that it is but a nominal union, whilst Eeg land and Scotlaed have obtained corporate reform, and II e land has still close, unte!formed, restricted, and bigotted cor porations—a mass of all possible abuses and corruptions. Everybody also agrees thet the elective franchise in Ire land should be co-extensive with that in Scotland, or rather in England. where the tenures of lands agree with those in Ireland. It is indeed monstrous tleit one man in every twenty-fetes pe , sons in England should have the elective fret chime and only oee in every ooc hundred acrd fifteen in Ireland. Alniost everybody also agrees that it is monstrous that the church temporalities, being the public property of the entire irith nation, should not be applied to purposes useful to the entire, but should all be appropriated to the exclusive use of the church of net one-tenth of the entire people. All those who desire the redress of any one of these griev anc!s, ought to join N% lkb me in the present effort to obtain full, C implete, and unequivocal relief. But the question remains, how are sac to obtain this relief and redress? This shou'd he now our only question. How is each grievance. to be abolished? My answer is by another question—‘'lltreditary bondsmen, know you net?" &c. 6.c. 6-c. We must have recourse to our own energies—to our own concentration—to our own combination—to our own continu ous and active agitation. I, for one, will agitate without ceas ing and without weariness. We succeeded already by such agitation; and we succeeded when only a part of the Irish people were concerned in interest. Shall we now fail when all the people of Ireland, of all sects and persuasions are equally interested in the result ? Impossible. But it is also utterly impossible that we should succeed by any other course than by the most strenuous exertions of the Irish people themselves. • This I undertake to demonstrate. It is most necessary that such demonstration should be before your eyes constantly, be cause persons of great respectability, and deserving your cor dial gratitude, are busy preaching up patience, and quietude, and confidence, and talking in prophetic strains of something t':at s! or may happen hereafter. Listen to me, then, and I will show you that there is no hope but in your own exertions—that your patience ought to be ex. hausted—that quietude now is folly—and that further confi dence in any body of men to do your business, when they merely desire. to do you good, but have not the power to effec tuate that good, would be drivelling idiotism, now that the rant of power is experimentally demonstrated. It is impossible for 03 to obtain the legislative enactments we desire, unless, as we obtained emancipation, Ireland arouses herself for this as she did for that struggle—quite impossible --for these reasons— FinsT—The House of Lords is against us. An overwhelm ing: majority are hostile under the leadership of Lyndhust and Lorton, Wellington and Vesey Fitzgerald, occasionally of Brougham—” in the case of the Irish Sheriffs—and con stantly of Roden. Anything or everything serves amongst them for a leader ; but the entire Tory party in the Lords are determined to redress no Irish grievance. This fact, that the House of Lords will not redress any Trish grievance—that they will not allow any one measure favourable to Ireland to pass into a law, is so obvious—so certain...-so familiar to every body, that it is waste of time to write it, or to announce it. We must determine, therefore, either upon submitting to of the Lords —to th e ir the tyrannj r eadiness to distort every measure for the good of Ireland into an evil—we must, in short, become the .- bag_' acquiesing slaves of the Lords, or that adverse destiny by all the determine to struggle arrain:! tution have left in our means which the law and the ConsL power. It was expected that at the Coronation a sufficient ' realign of Liberal Peers would have taken place to countervail tr.. Tory majority—that opportunity is lost, I believe, for ever. The Ministry cannot now assist us—we can only hope in ourselves. The Lords are our enemies and our masters. Let us, at least, have the manliness to make our tyrants uncom fortable, as the way ultimately to overcome their opposition. Unless we succeed in the struggle, we are for ever slaves. SEcoNDLY-A minority of the House of Commons refuse to do any justice to Ireland. It is, indeed, a minority, but it is a minority so numerous, so well organised, and so rancorous, that it is in itself so powerful as to back and support the House of Lords in all their tyranny. What chance is there of making any impression on the Lords !'avourable to Ireland, when the measures of justice to us—scanty and small as they be—reach that House almost still-barn, and certainly scarcely more than kept alive by the miserable majority by which they are carried through the Commons, to be annihilated by the Lords? The Lonls and a great number of the Commons are distinctly i n i n . ;!al to Ireland. How can the Ministry assist us? Fellow countryhicn, be up, then, and stirring. Those who aid them selves d ese rve, and often experience, the protection of Provi and your father laud , be up a nd denee. For Co d sake, then, stirring I a'IIIRDLY-The great majority of the people of England are higoqedly hostiie to us. They are Tories principally by nelson of their prejudico against the Pope and Ireland. I hoc.w th:lt the fact of a majority of the people of England be i ri . h ost il e in t h e Irish is denied. iloiv are the En.lish to 1 - ,e juTlj , l cf ? Is it nut fair to judge of them by their choice of representat:ves? Now Englac:d ass chos,n cnor muos ntaj,rity of p -rsons to represent her, ail of whom were recommended to Cleir eunstituem; by their bigotted hostility to Ireland, and many of whom had no other recommendation. Let any man after that tell me that the majority of the people of England are nut bitterly hos til e to Ireland, and I laugh them to scorn. FouarrtrA—The ultra-I - Laicals of F,ngl.ind have much prejudice against, and n u em ill, though rdfctedly secret, tios. tiii:y to Ireland. With this hostility mixes occasionally an und:vquised contempt. I have seen some striking instances of .this latterly. I know th:it th:.> very persons most implicate 1 in these bad paajons are the very loudest in denying their existence. But I pet that existence to this test—namely, to account to me, hos in any other way it is pr)c.sible to a::couct for one glaring folly committed by the ultra-Radicals. It is this :—They deti-st Toryism, and yet they labour assiduously to get the Tories into power. T;icir absurd project is first, to turn out the Whigs; secondil, to get in the Tories ; and, thirdly, (Heaven knows alien I.) to substitute the Rad . cals for the To ries t i I Such is the maniac Wan of the ultra- ltadicals. It may not bo difficult to put the Whigs out, and e Tori. s into poa er—so tar may be p7act:cabl.e—but how and when arc the R.sdic=ils to get into p o.-.et? ; the u't R. R IdICAS, to be at all consMent, emit iliac the Tories are moro hostile t i the progress of Liberal Gove , Tor,e, t than the Wnigs. The Whigs may not be ,oaieiently friendly to liberal ituititutions, but the Tories are the long-tried, decided, and persevering enemies of all - such institutions. Yet there are ultra-Radicals of intellect, eve, and of literary fame, who insist that the Tories shall get pover in preference to the Whigs. The wisdom of even childhool is denied them, elso they would remember those other croa'ers who, having despised their log king, just pro ell- el a stork, who taught them to thzir cost the difference be tween Whigs and Tories. How is this sheer fully of the English u'tra-Radicals to be accounted ? Simply by reason of their innate distaste of The Whig AdminiQ,trati,ni of Lord Meillourne has acted io Ireland energy, and justice to all. lord Narnianby, for the first time in six hundred years, showed that Ireland might be governed svitiviut undue favour to one p trey or any oppression to the other. He held the scales of justice even, aid knr.ws no distinction but that of merit. The heart of Ireland is full of gratitude to him and his colleagues ; and vet the tilt:.:- Radicals sneer at us, and give them no credit for their multi-elinoul services to Ireland. Yes. these is in this conduct of trig ultra- Ra licalz something which does not rn-et the eye, but b.:speaks i " foregone co:,clusiou" in their miods. FIFTHLY —Even the moderate and judicious Reformers cf -Englaml are cold to frigidity in their desire to see Ireland rillited—l do not mean all the Reformers of England, but I speak cf the great and immense majority of such Reformers. Stilt this want of sympathy in our - sufferings is not only wrong is itself, but is especially ungrateful, because it is a fact, part of history, that all the recent ameliorations in British institu tions were supported by a large and most influential majority of the Fish members. Nay, when there was a majority of Sectch members, .and also a majority of English members, a7ainst the Iteform Bill, it was carried at the second reacting, because the majority of the Irish mendwrs in its favour' over powered the adverse Scotch and English majorities, and thus achieved for Rcfoi m the Fiasr acrd BEST triumph. And yet, iirstead of cheering on the Ministry, who are of the utmost v.luc to Ireland, we Irish are assailed, by the weekly, monthly, and quarterly organs of the British Reformers, simply because we prefer a Min!stry conciliatory and just to Ireland, to the horrid misrule of the Tories, stained in Ireland with every crime that ever was inflicted on a prostrate people. Btit there remains, alas I one topic more useful to show the people o f Ireland the entire necessity of self-reliance alone. It is-- SIXTIILY —The fact that the present Ministry totally refuse to take those fair and just step s s w ,which the ought ta take, t o a in Gre y at Britaio as in Ire - render them;elvcs popular, themselves power to dO espe lan.l, and thereby to give cia!lv to this country. The Ministry threw away much of the pow to do good, er , much cf the string wl;ich wourlidd enable them ti? .carry out importance t.o . .the entire measures of the greatest value honest, the empire. There is the Ballot, fora example—the' protes tire Ballot. The Ballot, which, in ever `constituency, constituencY, would destroy intimidation, and, in lar ge constituencies, would render bribery impossible—the Ballot, which would extinguish the present ten.ptatons to cause rich men to becme ready bribers and intimidalors—and would lay them under th n e obli gation to earn the good will and the favourable o electors, and to impress the thorough conviction opifntla of the heir use ful qualities and Nir : nvg en the min ds of those electors, as by these means alone could they, with the Ba llot, secure election. There was the Ballot, which, if the Ministers had taken up at the beginning of last Session, they would have surrounded themselves with so much of popular support, as to enable them and us to set Orangeism in Ireland, and Toryism in England, at defiance. If the Ministers would but popularise themselves—and they may yet attain popularity, sound popularity, if they would adopt the Ballot, arid make it a Ministerial measure, instead of taking their stand against it—then, indeed, might Lord Nor :pant; recommend patience—and, in plain truth, Ido think THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1838 but if the people fairly determine that the landowners shall not be allowed to sacrifice the best interests of the country for their selfish cupidity, the landowners must give way. If the people would only cease to weste their energies on Universal Suffrage, which cannot be carried against the sentiments of the great body of the possessors of property, and apply themselves to a practical question, like the re peal of the Corn-laws—a questiori respecting which there can be no difference of opinion among all who do not profit by the abuse—we might the sooner hope to see an end to this abomination. The landowners cannot be more effectually served than they are by this ill-timed agitation for Universal Suffrage.—Morning Chronicle. Unfounded accusation and abuse being the favourite weapons which those associated with a bad cause are ever accustomed to employ against their opponents, the slanders levelled by certain parties against the working classes need not cause surprise, however much it must excite indigna tion and disgust. No more concl usive refutation, how ever, of these base and unfounded imputations could be afforded than was evidenced at the meeting in Palace yard on Monday, where, as at all the previous meetings for a similar purpose, the peaceful end orderly conduct of the assembled multitude, as well as the calm, argumenta tive, and statesmanlike addresses of the several speakers, demonstrate], to the very defiance of doubt, that the people are not less actuated by a love of justice than a bee of order—not more anxious for the accomplishment of their rights than of accomplishing them by peaceful and constitutional means. It has been alleged that the working classes have no definite object in view, that they are the mere dupes of designing individuals, that they propose an appeal to physical force, and intend, amidst the general anarchy, to make spoil of the property o the country. There is nothing easier than to make a charge of criminal intention, and scarcely anything more difficult than to disprove it. But let facts speak for themselves, and let us examine impartially the conduct, intentions, and views of the working classes, as exhibited in their assemblies, and expressed through their authorised organs. As to their conduct, their meetings, multitudi nous as they have been, will, in regard to orderly de meanour, not sink in comparison with even the House of Peers; and as to their views, let us take the speech of Mr. Lovett, who, as Secretary of the Association of the Working Classes, may be considered their legitimate re presentative, and see whether it indicates any hostility to the rights of property, or any views of a vague or violent character. Speaking of the utter disregard of popular rights by the privileged classes, Mr. Lovett observes— " If they (the privileged classes) can show to us that it is more in accordance with the principle of utility fur an ex clusive few, by virtue of wealth alone, to have the exclusive privilege of talking nonsense and doing mischief in yonder House, and year after be engaged in the 'Useless occupa tion of making hundreds of Acts of Parliament to explain what the thousands of Acts mean—if they can show that it is more wise to expend the fruits of other people's industry in playing the game of soldiers and the game of war, and all the absurdities that are played in l ace ruffles an d lawn , than in cul tivating the human facultie s to p erceive the beau t i e s of art, the advantages of science, and the moral and political duties of so cial life, we will bow in silence and submission to their argu ments of utility. If they can show that it is most in accord ance with this principle for nine-tenths of the human race to Ise doomed to a state of slavery, drudgery, and mental servi lity, in order to uphold the othartenth, not merely in a state of independence and comfort, having leisure and wealth to ac quire knowledge, and to impart its blessings to others, but to foster hereditary pride, extravagance, debauchery, and inso lent imbecility of mind. If they can reconcile this with the principles of utility, religion, and of morals, we will bow to aristocracy, and proclaim the principles of democracy to be wrong. And, that I may not be misunderstood, let me ex plain what we mean by democracy. We mean the power, the intellect, the knowledge, and the morality of the people, combined to select individuals according to these qualities to make such laws and institutions as shall best secure to man in dividually, and to society collectively. the full development and temperate exercise of all the powers God has given to man, physically, mentally, and morally." Does this exhibit any incompetency to appreciate the just end of political institutions? Is there in such language as the foregoing any vagueness of purpose, any inflamma tory declamation, anything, in fact, from which the most rabid Tory dare to express a dissent ? It is the language of truth, bearing the impress of its authority stamped on its front in characters so legible that malice itself would shrink from denouncing it as counterfeit. In reference to the rights of property and the application of violence, let the opinion of the working classes again be expressed through their Secretary : ' Our object," said Mr. Lovett, "is not the confiscation of others' rights, but the confirmation of the rights pro claimed by God, and long withheld by man. We have re cently been told that one of our objects is to interfere with the legitimate rights of capital. What fools do th.'y take us to be ? Why capital is as necessary to labour as air is to the existence of man ; and Reformers know well that any commotion which would interfere with the employment of capital, and affect the just employment of capital, would re duce millions to poverty and wretchedness. That complaints have been loud arid general against mercenary and oppressive capitalists, I allow—and who will deny that they arc without just foundation ? Rut in most cases the complaint has been against the conduct of the nsan, and not against the legitimate e mployment of his capital. We have heard, and lament that some foolish observations have been recently made on this sub ject, and we think without due consideration of the clnsa quences—but we believe, and feel satisfied,, and I appea for this feet t.) the delcgatei of the various districts of the king_ dorn who are presenttltat the mass of the people seek not violence or commotion, but peaceable and orderly changes," Tne people have no wish to employ eiolenee,latet,on the contrary, are determined to give to their enemies not the shadow of a pretext fur the employment of violence against them, The British people, though prodigal of their blood when need requires. it, love not and, above all things, have no sternach for OAting With eecit other. But it is uneeeessary to repel the celuismious imputation of itstending to resort to violetice• The peo ple never entertained such intentlea. Th e y seek not to lose fighting for fighting sake, their lives, but to enjoy them. As Mr. Lovett well remedied of 1 4 itnself and associates, " We know well that in times 'I Pluit'iwg 14(4 ii?eq resin jitlo private life, and villain: climl dopoWr," Is this the lenguage el isten mn d l tat ing s a g e lcuce ?

The demi-official Globe has a n article of some length yesterday evening on the subjeA of an intended. reform in tle Post-office. The substanoo of the itilprovement, divested of the various tiourisLee with which the Globe has surrounded the subject, seem s to be this — th a t p osta g e will be charged upon the distance which it is necessary to GArry letters, and not in proportion to the round-about lengths ehlob they frequently ere carried, under the present nesa.ra• gcmonts of the Post•office, This is a Fer01:111 i I . R. : , - ;* is vet) , right to carry into effect , but very w ro n g w to ma a noise ,iu'iet. for the thing reformed is so absu rd, ' pro that when one hears of the improve... the fee ling duced is not so much that of admiration at the retortie !" that of vexation that anything so preposterous as the present eystem sliquid have existed so long. And yet, though it has been at last discovered that tho present system is unjust, or at least " looked upon as unjust," it is not to be immediately remedied, but much time is to be taken before the " twelve hundred calculations," which are necessary to the change, can be got through. Why was so much public money g iven iti aid of Mr. Baggage's " Calculating Machine," if it be not avaialee for tossing off a dozen hundred of such threepenny and fourpenny calculations in a morning? But hear how grandly the Ministerial Peper talks of this of .ir : ,‘ Although it is intended to carry the measure into effect a t once, as jar as possible , a long time m us t e l apse before it can Le brought into full oper ttion, as all the distances be tween the different post towns, twelve hundred in number, in the three kingdoms, must be recalculated. This, however, cancet be avoided, and will be little regarded by the public, when d.!) , consider the benefit they will derive from the aban -1 done - lent of a principle of charge which was always looked 1 upon as unjust. 're can positively state th a t more c omplaints have originated on this ground against the Post-office than on almost any other ; and we ba i l , t herefore, with the grea test pleasure the discontinuance of so oppressive a system. The sacrifice, Re understand, e ill be large, hut it will be well com pensated in the universal satisfaction it will diffuse." So then, with these excellent reforming Whigs the die continuance of an " oppressive system," is described as a sacrifice, and though " a long time must elapse" before the oppressive system can be wholly abolished, yet the public is expected little to regard this delay in conialeration of the great benefit which is ultinialely intended ! Really, if " uni versal satisfaction is to be the result of merely suffering an " oppressive system" to die away bit by bit, the public must he very easily satisfied. But to be sure, the thing is to be done by Whigs, and anything from them in the way of reform which i s not sheer humbug, is such , rarity that it may be on that account prized far above its intrinsic value. In treating of this great affair, the offi cial organ has fallen into a difficulty the opposite to that described by Horace, for in labouring to be lengthy it has become obscure. It affirms, for instance, that "by the present law, it is imperative upon the Post office to charge letters according to the distance they are conveyed by the mails, and that althoUgh post towns may b? but a small distance apart, the letters between them are frequently conveyed by a very circuitous route, and the rate of postage considerably increased." Now, if that be the present law, imperative upon the Post-office, we do not sea how the syst, m can be changed until the law is changed ; and though Whig governors arc very great people, and find the interference of Parliament, on many occasions, very obtrusive and inconvenient, yet so it is, that if anything be law, it must so remain until not only the Lords of the Treasury, but the Lords and Commons in Parliament assembled, make the altera tion. Whether this be only a slip of the pen on the part of the Government editor we cannot at this moment say, but we do know that Whigs are very often apt to make slips sshich indicate an opinion that, while they have the Government, it should be the fountain of all poser, legislative as well as administrative. Of all the combinations that ever were seen, felt, or imagined, of af fected liberality with real tyranny, the most impudently sel fish, and offensively unreasonable, is that which belongs to the modern Whig; of this country. While they pass by, as if they were nothing, the most serious disgraces which fall upon the country through their misgovernment, they make the most prodigious fuss about such slight mutters of common clerkship as this Pon-office reform. Since writing the above we find that the announcement of the intended grand reform appears verbatim in two Government papers. It is, therefore, no doubt, a Treasury document, and very worthy it is of the magnates who preside in that depart , ment.—Morning Post. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZET WAR OFFICE, SEPT. IS, 1838.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS-TUESDAY These Sessions commenced this morning before Mr. Ser vent ADAMS and a full bench of Magistrates. The calendar c.mtains a list of 123 prisoners, tia enty of whom are charged with felonies, and the remainder with assaults, riots, &c. William Mills Thomas, aged thirty-one, a man of a very dark complexion, was indicted for stealing a handkerchief, the pro perty of Captain Hyde Parker Laurence. The particulars of this case have very recently appeared in the police reports. It will be recollected that the accused had obtained subscriptions to e nable him to go to India as a missionary. The Jury returned a verdict of Acquittal. William Howard, a lad, aged fifteen, was convicted of stealing a yoke, the property of James litEndell. The pri soner had been before convicted of robbery, and confined in the House of Correction. After the verdict he burst into tears, and implored tho Chairman to send him for two years to the Penitentiary, where he might learn a trade, and have an opportunity of afterwards getting an honest Ihiv. The CHAIRMAN said that, in the hopes of reforming him, he would send him to the Penitentiary, and for that purpose he sentenced him to three years' imprisonment. On Sunday evening a booteloser named Porter, jumped from the second floor of the house, No. Si, Monmouth-street, where he resided, in consequence of a quarrel with his wife. He was taken to Charing-cross Hospital, where it was found that one of his thighs and both arms were fractured, that Lord Melbourne's Ministry owe it to the steady and dis interested support the Irish have given them, to acquire the power which just popularity would confer on them, if they were now to announce that, in the next Session, and after the evidence adduced before Election Committees, and the other important facts respecting bribery and int:midation which have I since transpired—nearly fifty thousand pounds expended in sheer bribery at Norwich alone—if, I say, they were to announce that next Session they would make the Ballot a Cabinet question—if they were to do this—but, alas ; when I recollect Lord John Russell's angry attack upon the Ballot _how Ido despair of seeing any such wise :step taken. It afflicts me, in my inmost soul, to see the fair occasions to make the Ministry popular thrown away. When Lord John Russell, in his second and deliberate speech, argued against the Ballot, I went to my bed in sad ness and sorrow, and during a sleepless night—l may be laughed at for the avowal—shed many and hitter tezars. I felt all the mischief he had thus perpetrated on himself, on his colleagues, on the cause of reform in general, and on Ice l.:11d in particular. Yet it is va;n. The Ministry will not take the measures n:- cessary to enable them to be of use to Ireland. The Irish have no resource save in their own exertions. I think I have demonstrated to every human being who reads this letter that with the Lords, by a great majority against us —with the House of Commons crowded by a Tory minority— with the mass of the people of England hostile from bigotry and prejudice—with the Ultra-Radicals almost frantic in their enmity—with the Reformers apathetic and unsympathising ; and with a Ministry who have not the power to do us good, and will not take the legitimate means to attain that power; under these circumstances we have but one resource—that is in our own energy and exertions, cheered on by the honesty and strict justice of our cause—by our former success against infinitely more formidable difficulties, and by the spirit which seven centuries of oppression could not extinguish, but which has lived through those ages, and still continues to live " un fading and warm." I will in my next letter appeal to that spirit, and rouse it, I trust, into just and necessary action. I will in that letter point out the best mode for obtaining redress for our grievances. In other woid.s, I will point out how the Irish people may peaceably but deter.ninedly organise their constitutional and legal power to procure " Justice for Ireland." I have the honour to be, fellow-countrymen, your ever de voted servant, DANIEL O'CONNELL. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS We may as well once for all state, in answer to the various communications we have received on the subject of the advance in the price of wheat, since the liberation of the whole of the quantity in bond, that it is no part of the duty of a Journalist to interfere with the operations of individuals. From one correspondent we have received a long report of a meeting of the principal corn-factors in the subscription-room of Jack's Coffee-house, Mark lane, on Saturday -last, held with a view of concerting measures for their common interest, drawn up from infor mation furnished by one who was present, in which the names of the speakers and their arguments are given with out disguise. From another correspondent we have re ceived an account briefly alluding to the same meeting, terming it " a most audacious attempt at a corn mono poly," and adding," if, now their ey es are o p en, the bread consuming public consent to eat their loaf at tenpence, then let there be no more outcry against the Corn-laws." We trust we feel as we ought for the sufferings of the poor, and if our wishes were of any avail the crops would always be abundant, and the price of the loaf moderate. But as our wishes will neither make crops abundant nor lower the price of the loaf, the trade in corn must be governed by the same laws as those which govern the trade in any other commodity. It is an old trick, and one which we thought had been abandoned, to direct odium against the whole of all those who are en gaged in the trade in corn, from the farmer who raises it to the merchant who stores it, and even the baker who supplies bread daily to the community. It happened, oddly enough, that the only really guilty individuals, those who, ' excluding foreign supply, were the author s of the dr ily . which led to the rise in the price, were passed c 1 Public fell oa the mere instruments , buyr and the ,e blinZ., the mealmen and bakers, as the dog bites the stone by which he is hit without thought of the the illiber hand that t al di rec ts it. It would appear, however, that way of thinking to which we have alluded is not yet altogether obsolete. In what respect, we ask, are the traders in corn to blame for seeking to sell the com modity in which they deal at as high a price as they can possibly obtain for it ? How can the argument . 1 of the holders of bonded or any other description of corn to sell only at a certain price be deemed more a monopoly, than the argument of any other cdasa to take the steps they may deem the most effectual for promoting their particular interests ? No man blames mechanics for agreeing not to work below a certain rate of wages. If they have miscal culated the means of supply at the command of their mas ters, and, on discovering their mistake, endeavour, by inti midation and violence, to prevent others from taking their places, then, no doubt, we with justice blame them. If the holders of bonded corn not only kept back what they pos sessed themselves, but used violence to prevent the public from being supplied by other dealers, then, in like manner, we might direct public indignation against them. But it is not alleged that the holders of bonded corn in any manner interrupt the operations of the market, If the supply of co rn turn out to be greater than the s p eculators for a eiee counted on, they will burn their fingers ; if the state of sup- ply and denatied justify the speculations, they will realize a profit. Since the days of the French Convention, when a maximum price of corn was fixed, which created a farrinie in France by causing suppliea to be withheld, there hare been few advocate; for making any difference between the trade in corn and any other trade. Merl who embark in any trade have profit in view. When they suffer loss they have no title to relief from the public ; and if the dea'ers have no title to indemnification from the public, have the public any right to call on them to inter fere between !hem and their profit. Between fixing a maximum and aliovsiote the utmost freedom of operations to dealers there is no medium. if it should be - found that the law interferes between the derneus 4 . and the supply, so that difficulties are interposed by it in the way of obtaining corn from Arend, the legislators, and not the traders, are. to blame. But to direct odium against the dealcr4 in corn because they try to obtain the highest price they can po4, sibly obtain for their comincel;ty ail: trot increase the sup ply, and eo.ts,tq anatly cannot have the slightest effect in lowering prices, and wilt therefore be as unavail ing,; as it would be irreconcilable with justice. It has often b een urged by pubye writers, that, where there is a deficienc y of supp), of corn, the specula ;ors, without intending it, are really the greatest benefac tors of the public. By their operations prices suddenly rise, in consequence of which families are obliged to prac tise greater economy, and even to have recourse to various substitutes, whereby consumption is diminished. Were capital not embarked in the trade by srculators, and a diminished supply to be attended with no diminution of consumption, the c onsequence would ultimately be a famine. The speculatone by causing a sudden advance in price, spread the di fieieney over the whole year, and prevent the ca!enlitous effects of a famine during any part of it. The rise in p 7iees, too, gives timely notice of the state of thin gs to a:: those who have it in their power to procure sup; lies from 2" quarter t en o avail themptionselves .e descri of of the favourable market. - There fond which from its bulk and its perishable . "ature cannot lar g ely became tine object of speculteion , we meal 1--2'4" toes ; and the consequence is, that no intimatian is girt n cf any deficiency in the supply till t ine whole of the population of large tracts of country are suffering the horrors of famine. The outcry against the holders of bonded corn is the more unreasonable, be cau..e, if the a ll ega tions of those who cry out a ga inst them b ejust, they must be ruined by their operations. The produce of this year's crop, with the corn in bond, anti the corn in foreign ports purchased with a view to importation, is either beyond the wants of the country or short of it. If beyond the wants of the country, to hold back the ac cu.stomedsupply fa- a week or two will only have the e ffect of precipitating the decline. The trade in corn is too ex t.,n,ive, and capitalists ..r , e jeep jealous of each other, to allow of any such thin ‘ ,.,t r, a l s li combination to starve the Dutch, in order to the u market while the supply p y ri 7 e c eoefds theirte sdpeinelea3nit.iii.gb,Tairlee said to have keep annually destroyed a great quantity. But the traders in corn have recourse to this expe dient. Who are the dealers in corn ? Not the mere holders of bonded corn but every farmer in the country who is not ebliaa to el d send his corn to market as it can be thrashed out.

We have thus, we trust,shown that it . eati do no good to interfere with corn-dealers, by prescribing to them the course they ought to pursue. The Corn-lairs and the trade in corn arc quite nu distinct.

Their justice has vain been appealed to again and again.

But to all arguments, all proofs of injury to the community, the landowners have alw a y s turned a deaf ear. What do we care, they say, for your arguments—we have the votes. To appeal to the justice of these men would be useless ; POLICE INTELLIGENCE WORSHIP-STREET. Thomas Chamberlain, a lad about eighteen years of age, was brought before Messrs. CODD and Gaovs, under the fol- lowing distressing circumstances : Serjeant Palmer, No. 2, briefly stated to the Bench the nature of the case. The prisoner, he said, was an apprentice to Mr. East, a silk weaver, living in Turner-square, Hoxton, and was given into custody that morning by his master, on a charge of having indecently assaulted Elizabeth Colter, a young girl to whom the master acted as gua-dian. The master was given to understand, when the circumstance first came to his knowledge, that the poor girl had been a willing party, and he in consequence expostulated with her on the impropriety of her conduct. The remonstrance appeared to produce a serious impression on her mind, and she re mained all day in a very melancholy mood, and in the evening left the house and did not return. Early that morning a bargeman perceived a bonnet and shawl on the banks of the Regent's Canal, and the drags were sent for, by the use of which the body of a young girl was brought out, which Mr. East afterwards identified as that of his unfortunate ward. He insisted upon giving the prisoner into custody, in order that the affair might undergo a thorough investigation. Mr. East was then called into the witness-box. He was convulsed with grief, and gave his evidence with the utmost pain and difficulty. He stated that the ill-fated girl, who was an orphan, only fifteen years of age, was his wife's niece, and had been under his care for about four years. He had brought her up, and treated her with all the tender ness and attention lie had bestowed upon his own children. The prisoner at the bar had been his apprentice for about eight months. He had taken him without premium, and had even paid the expenses of the binding. His conduct was for some time irreproachable, but he had of late very much mis conducted himself. Witness and his wife were occasionally in the habit of attending religious meetings, and on Friday night last they left home for that purpose, and he had been in formed since that the prisoner had taken advantage of the poor girl in their absence, and he feared had effected her ruin. On Monday morning a widow lady who lodged with him apprised him of what had been going on between them, and told him that nothing but his immediate interference could save his ward from destruction. He in consequence spoke to her seriously on the subject, and his admonition seemed to sink deeply into her mind, and cause great distress and despondency. He afterwards went out upon business, and on his return his wife told him that the poor girl had ac knowledged to her that the prisoner had behaved most inde cently towards her against her will, and that she had been very unhappy all that day. He again left home, and on his return at about eight o'clock, he found his wife In a state of great alarm, on account of the girl not having returned from a message on which she had been sent. He immediately started off to her uncle's at Hampstead, to see if she had gone there, continued seeking her in vain, until he heard of her untimely end. The witness here became so overpowered with emotion that he could not proceed, and Mr. Coon ordered an officer to bring him a glass of water. John Watson, another of Mr. East's apprentices, stated that between eight and nine o'clock on Friday evening last the prisoner left the apartment in which they were at work, and went down stairs. He had remained about half an hour ab sent, when witness went to seek him, and when he had got about half way down he heard the deceased girl crying out, " Oh, don't, Thomas, don't ; Sheridan is coming." Sheridan was another of the apprentices. He immediately ran to the parlour, whence the noise proceeded.—(The witness described the situation of the prisoner, which left no doubt of his guilt.) John Sheridan, the other apprenticZ, had always considered the deceased was very much attached to the prisoner. One night, about five weeks ago, she called witness by name for assistance, and on his going into the room he found the prisoner with her, who, she told him, had attempted to ill- use her. Mr. Conn—Was she a good girl generally? Witness— She was a simple girl, and rather gay and sprightly, but of a good disposition. Mrs. Ann Smith, a lodger in the house, said that she heard a scuffle in the parlour on the Friday night, but she thought nothing of it at the time. She referred to it next morning, however, on seeing the deceased, when the latter told her that the prisoner had ill-used her. She said t at he had promised her marriage, and would not le t ; ler s p ea k to any young man but himself, and she con": l ;tained of being very ill in body and miserable in mind. Mr. Conn—What sort of a girl did you consider her? Witness—A very nice, prudent, and well-behaved young woman. Mr. Cony (after having cautioned the prisoner) asked him if he wished to say anything ?—The prisoner, who had hung down his head during the proceedings, muttered that he had nothing to say, but was very sorry. Mr. Conn said, that after the evidence ho had heard it was impossible for him to look upon the prisoner in any other light than as the murderer of the unhappy young woman, and if he possessed the feelings of nature his life would be unhappy and miserable for ever. He did not wish, however, to prejudice the proceedings about to be investigated elsewhere, and he should remand him for a week, when he would be better able to decide what course to pursue in respect to him. The prisoner was then removed to the cell. The melancholy occurrence has occasioned a most painful sensation in the district, and the office was crowded during the investigation. The inquest on the body of the unfortunate girl will be held to-morrow (this) afternoon. DREADFUL STEAM BOILER EX- PLOSION. NEWTON IN THE WILLOWS, MONDAY NIGIIT.—The Via duct Foundry on the Maneheiter and Liverpool line of rail way at this place, the property of Messrs. Jones, Turner, and Evans, was this morning the scene of a dreadful and fatal steam boiler explosion. Six persons are already dead, and four others are lying without the least hope of recovery. It appears that Messrs. Jones and Co. employ about 200 men, and in the course of their business use two steam-engines, the one of 16 horse power, and the other of eight, to drive the blast for the smith's furnaces. Last week a new boiler Was put to the eight-ho-se engine, and the foreman of the yard, Joseph Dangerfield, who superintended the erection of the boiler, resolved upon setting it in motion himself. It was tried on Siturday, and was then found to work well. This nice.ning he was called by the watchman, at five o'clock, and he immediately proceeded to light the fire and get the steam up in the boiler. He accomplished this task by six o'clock. At that hour the men came to work, and about ten or a dozen of them stood at the mouth of the furnace anxiously waiting to witness the evolutions of the engine, which had been stopped for the purpose of attaching the straps communicating with the machinery of the foundery. This had been in part ac complished, when all of a sudden the steam and water burst through the flue of the boiler, and carried the contents of the fur nace, and part of the brick work full 40 yards from the build ing. The explosion was terrific, the bystanders and Danger. field were carried, as if by a gun-shot, into a field of corn on the outside of the fenced palings. The palings were knocked down, and the corn levelled to the ground for full twenty yards distance. Three of the men were picked up quite dead. Th e ir names are, Joseph Dangerfield, Samuel Appleton, and George Fazakerly. John Dean was found on Ilia knees, pray ing to the Lord to have mercy on Liz soul. He lived until ten o'clock. Thomas Price was picked up insensible. John Parker was dreadfully mutilated. William Wells, George Hough 4 William Dane, and up dreadfully scalded and bruised. They were quickly at tended by some surgeons and a physician, from Newton and St. Helen's. George and William Wylls lived for a few hours only. Most of the sufferers arc married men with large Ihmilies. A seventh sufferer died just as our informant was closing Ids report. His name is Price, the father of A large family. No reason is assigned for the accident. The exterior of the house still remging pei Peet.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of last Evening.) SUGAR.--The British Plantation Market exhibited a more lively appearance during the past week than has been the case for some time past; from both groce a and refiners there has been a good and general demand, and fully previous rates have been obtained for brown and yellow descriptions; the supply of good and fine sorts of the latter continues very small, and they are still much wanted for the scale ; on Wednesday the private purchases amounted to 800 hhds and trs, on Thursday to 900, and on Friday to 900, making the quantity sold for the three days 2,600 hhds and trs, besides ll l hhds 37 trs 5 brls Barbadoes at public sale, which sold gather briskly at former prices, low to good quality brought 56s 6(1 to 62s 6d ; by pri este tree:), sales of fair to fine brown for the pan have been made at 49s to 50s 6d, mid yellow 523 to 545, pad to fine grocery 563 to 635. This afternoon the prices established on Friday were fully supported the quantity sold privately erneeettr4e to 400 'hogsheads and tierces ; besides 136 casks Barbadoes at auction sold briskly at prices fully equal to those of the last sale, fine went at 6'2s 6i to 631 good 61s to 625, good middling 59s Gd to dos 6d, mid dling 57s Gd to 595, ordinary s,as (id to 464 Gd per cwt. For Refined goods there 'lee Leen a beat t' demand for shipping. tied fell pric-.2s have been obtained ; in doubie Crushed the purchases have been 500 hhds at 33s 6,1, and some small pa eels of 101 b liamburg loaves at 375. The demand from the grocers, however, for the common descriptions of goods, has been only for small parcels, but lower rates have not been accepted, sales in brown lumps of the old fashioned m ke have been made at 67s to 6es, and rather better on the rew principle at 70s; the better kinds have been taken more freely, and business to a fair extent has been transacted at viiler prices, 743 6d a 75s paid fer Lumps passine, and 733 for those rather under the standard. Bastards above 48s hale sod to a fair extent at previous quotations, but the operations in those under that figure have been trivial. Candy as last qt oted Dutch Crushed Sugar has been in request, and sales to ti e extent of 200 hhds have been made at 32s per cat. This afternoon there was a goad demand from the grot ers for goods at and above 80s ; other kinds in steady request at previous rates; double Crushed continue in demand at 33s tad per cwt. NiAortyrius,—The buyers have evinced a better disposition to do business; 1,3' s at public sale, the p:incipal por tion of which corea. of extremely low brown sorts, these sold readily rather ,ove the general valuations, and were taken chiefly by the shippers at 42s Gd ter 445, the brigi t grocery kinds went at Gd advanoe, but there was only one lot with any colour, and this brought 57s 6J, low mid sold at 52s Gd, and low mid strong gray at 51s Gd. This afternoon, 1,625 bags at public sale sold steadily, and brought full prices for the mid and best yellow sorts, but inferior kinds in some instances went rather easier, very low brown sold at 42s to 43s 6d, mid to good 47s to 403. low to mid yellow 50s Gd to 52s 6d, good mid 53s Gd to 553, good 58s, one lot fine 63s 6d. tiny L.
